The village is located about 19 km from Toruń. A monument dating back to the times of Copernicus is a Gothic church built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries from fieldstone and brick, dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (in Copernicus's time, it was dedicated to St. Lawrence). The village was first mentioned in the 13th century, and in 1520 it was handed over to Toruń by King Sigismund the Old. It was severely damaged in the 17th century during the Swedish wars. Tourists visiting this place should also take an interest in the post mill from 1867, which was thoroughly restored in 2011 and is one of the most valuable monuments of rural culture in the Chełmno Land.
